Turkey has approximately 80 million population and 30 million of that are the people with Kurdish origin. The country is directed by 550 house representatives and close to 200 of those have also Kurdish descent. Anybody who doesn???t believe this can check previous Turkish president, Turgut Ozal???s background in Wikipedia, who was also of partial Kurdish descent. According to Reuters news released Sun Oct 28, 2007, 12:12pm ET, 30000 people were killed since early 1980s. If a fanatic group calling themselves as a ???party??? and causing so many peoples??? death by bombing the military stations and killing the civilians including Kurdish villagers how much would you believe their ideology that saving 20 million Kurds in Turkey and giving them freedom when Kurds in Turkey can be elected even as a president? Why 2 million Kurds in Iraq are so much interested with 20 million Kurds??? rights in Turkey when more than 3 million of them are living even in Istanbul?

The United States has a few weeks in hand to persuade the Turks not to go in. A major international summit of Iraq's neighbors—plus representatives of the U.N. security council and the European Union—is due to convene in Istanbul on Nov. 2. Then Erdogan is due to travel to Washington on Nov. 8 to see Bush. It's unlikely that the Turkish military will launch any strike before then. But the U.S. president will have to come up—finally—with something more than promises to tackle the PKK if he's to persuade Erdogan to stand down his men.
